    Bad Morning

    I got up late, to discover no hot water. Cold shower.

    I left my phone at home.

    I was late for a morning meeting I forgot about. This is because I went to buy cakes [for my last day] and a coffee.

    As I walked into the office, I knocked the coffee on the back of a chair and launched the coffee across the room; it hit the floor and made quite a spectacular mess, but luckily most of it had splashed down me which saved the carpet a bit.

    I'm wearing a white top, which is now soaking wet because I put it under the tap in the toilet to remove the coffee stain before realising they don't have hand driers here.

    I really need a coffee.

    At least its the last day of the current contract, not the first day of the new one.

    Are you sure a coffee is a good idea after what happened with the last coffee?

      Actually I think you need a spoonful of sugar.

            I dread to think what I will do on my first day of the new one. In the first week of my previous role, I got my heel stuck in the escalator and nearly lost my shoe.

                The wet t shirt competition isn't until tonight!

                Slow down, more speed less haste I find.

                  I've had days like that, so feel for you. Good excuse to pop down to Monsoons no? Last day and all!

                  In summer, I have a linen suit I used to wear. Once, in 2006 I think, it was rabidly hot, some 34 degrees, so I didn’t wear underwear, thinking it would be nice and cool. I went to a meeting and as I sat down in a chair, my two pockets slipped into the high handles of the seat. Letting my weight go, the trousers ripped down both seams, down to mid-thigh. Everyone heard the rip, but manfully I tried to carry on until I was asked to describe my comments on the white board, which I declined to everyone’s laughter. Getting home was a very embarrassing affair.

                  Last day, yes, I’d be off to the shops for an hour. Then sit down and enjoy a coffee and cake. And remember, that's 3 bad things so only good things can come form now on.

                    Last day and giving them a wet tshirt treat. That's the way to go. Blaze of glory.
